work was summarized and checked by the Italian student Angela

semination of the Magazine and the poor communication among
partners.

prove the dissemination of the magazine and to speed the printing of issues. Hence, a schedule of
tasks was made to share the work to be done.
In addition, the cover of the 2008 issues was decided and finally the name of the project, which
will be submitted to the E.U. for the next two years, was selected after voting.
The prize award ceremony for the competition of the best article of 2006 was postponed for the
meeting in Thessaloniki, on April 2008, since the two winners from Greece (A. Deligiorgi and S.
Diskou) did not manage to come to Kayseri.
Except the official sessions, the students from Greece and Turkey presented interesting subjects
of general interest as Ionian philosophers, common words in Greek, Turkish and Italian.

received by the Mayor, who welcomed the foreign delegations. And then they visited the historical
and cultural places of Incesu.
They also had a cultural walk in downtown Kayseri and they visited the local market.
